CON FECTION IMPLEMENT.

Application filed March as, 1927. Serial No. 178,759.

' 'Ihisinvention relates toa deviceto'facilitate a confection implement and it is'an object of the invention to provide a device container rial. I V V I It is also an. object of the invention to provide an implement of this kind adapted to receive and hold a containerofpaper, pastry, confection material of any kind suit-, able to the purpose and which is adapted with ice cream or kindred mateto be, inserted within icecream or kindred material in bulk to fill or load While held by the implement.

Another object of the invention is to pro- Vide an implement of. this kind provided with. means whereby the ice cream or kindred the container material. may be readily severed or cut to facilitate the ready withdrawal ofthe implement whenthe container is filled or loaded, said means also serving to retain the content within the container and to cut, into the periphery of the contentof thecontainer as it enters therein to provide means to permit escape of air during the time of filling or loading. I p

An additional object of the invention is to provide an implement of this kind having means for limiting the extent of insertion of the implement within the bulk of ice cream,

or other material from which the container carried by the implement is to be filled or loaded and in a manner whereby'several insertions are required to obtain a complete fill or load, thus conserving the ice cream or.

the like in bulk against rapid deterioration from air attack as would be liable to occur if the implement dug deep wells in the bulk material.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved confection implement whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, aswill be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novelv features of my invention will hereinafter he definitely claimed. I A

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein loading or filling of a Jvise .of. the implement Figure 1 is a view in elevationof an.

implement constructed in accordance with Figure are a sectional as herein disclosed an emb'odimentofmy invention with .th channel members 111separatedrelation,

Figure 4 is a view partly in section and of Figure 2 with the partly in elevation illustrating a block adapted to befemployed in connection with the implement. 5."

s herein disclosed, my improved implement comprises two channel members A and B of substantially duplicate construction" except thata longitudinal marginal portion of the member A is provided with a pair of spaced knuckles 1 between which is received a single knuckle 2 carried by the second member 13, said knuckles havlng d sposed therethrough a, pintle member 3 whereby the v members A and B are hinged together for relative swinging movement and in a man .ner, when closed, they der or chamber. V Y p The outer end portion of each of the memhere A and B is open but the opposite end portion is closed by a head or plate 4. 7 WV hen the members are in closed relation the lonform a hollow cylingitudinal margins thereof and the free margins of the plates 4 abut.

The outerend portions of the members A and B have their Walls reduced in thickness, as at 5, resulting'in circumferentially disposed shoulders 6 freeendsof the members A and B a distance, in the present embodiment of my invention, of about onethird the length of said members or moreparticularly the channels thereof. The outer faces of these portions 5' are beveled inwardly towa'rdthe free ends of. the members, of each of the members A and B or more spaced from the outer or while the free end portion particularly the portions 5 thereof, is'defined by' an internal flange 7 tapered toward the outer or free end portion of each mem- B outwardly of flanges 7 constitute what may be termed die ment and it is to be noted when the members A and B are closed, proher. The portions of the members A and portions D of the implethat said flanges,

. vide a die portionof an container provided with 'of the members mines the interior diameter or ma1or portions j less than that oft-he inner of the closed members." i

In the present embodiment of my'invention, the flanges? at,,cli ametrically opposed points and adjacent their inner marginsare the inwardly disposed. lugs 8 preferably sharp edged and tapered from their rear to their forward portions for a purpose to be hereinafter more particularly referred to. x V V Extending outwardly from the plates 4 A and B are the elongated 9f terminating in inwardly,

handle members 10 adapted to abut when disposed extensions the members A and B are in closed relation. These haudlesQ provide means whereby the members'A and Bmay be readily opened or closed by the user,

In practice, the members A and B7 are swung into open position in order to permit replacement therebetween of a desired C to be loaded or filled and said container being disposed inwardly of the flanges 7 and which flanges hold such container against displacement when the members A and Bare in closed relation. The handles 9 are grasped by the user to assure the members A and B being effectively maintained in closed position and the open end of said closed members is forced into a bulk of ice cream or kindred material to a depth as determined by the shoulders 6 which deterlimit to] which the implement should penetratefthe material at any one operation. Infthe present embodiment of my invention," this operation is repeated three times in order to'completely fill or load the container C. It is to be noted that the bevel of the portions 5 and the flanges 7 provide sharp entering or cutting edges for the implement.

\Vhen the implement is inserted within the bulk of material the implement is given a slight turn and the lugs 8 cut or sever the portion or pillar of ice cream or kindred material which has entered the container and when the implement is withdrawn these in contact with the bulk ice cream or content of lugs further operate to hold the As the imthe container from falling out.

-plement is' forced within the bulk of ice creamor theilike these'lugs also operate to cut grooves in the periphery of the pillar of material entering the container and thereby provide means to permit he escape of air from the interior of the closed members A and B inwardly of the content or pillar of ice cream or the like received within the container.

V It" is also to be noted that the shoulders 6 hereinbefore referred-to are positioned below the knuckles 1 and 2, thus eliminating I,

the liability of the lower knuckle 1 coming the like.

By filling the container as a result of a" V the bulk material other words,

air and thus result in adjacent edge and ,sea

bulk material or by definitely determining to which the implement is is conserved against more rapid deteriorationthrough air attack; In. there is eliminated. deep Wells beingdug 1n the bulk material that would cause agreater surface to be opened to the deterioration at a more rapid rate.

It-is to be understood that thevmembers to be inserted,

Aand B maybe made of such size and d1:

mensions' to be used in connection with the filling or loading of containers of pint, quart or other capacityand by theinserti'on of a cylindrical block or member D between the membersA and B inwardly of an applied container, the space unoccup ed bythe container may be completely filled.

It is also to benoted tend inwardly of the members distance sufficient to permit .ice cream or like to pass through the die. ticularly afforded by these flanges without striking an adjacent edge of the applied container C. I

From thought to be obvious that a confection implement constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for A and 'B a that the flanges 7 ea t e r portion as p arthe foregoing description it is use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof andfor this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and formation of the several parts herein shown in carryingoutmy invention in pracv tice except as hereinafter 1. A filler for cylindrical ,cartons,'comprising a pair of semi-cylindrical troughlike bodies each closed atone end and open atthe other, each of said bodieshaving a gauge shoulder formed around the outer face and tapering from the shoulder to the claimed. I 7

shoulder formed about ton edge supporting from this shouleach body having a car be assembled and "op erated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and hinge connection between lZW'O COHtQlCtlIlQ I edges of the bodies ton filling device comprising a pair of semiopen endfthereof to adapt the same to carcyhndrical bodies having lnnge connection tons of ZLISIZG smaller than a standard size 7 at ad acent edges for swinging the bodies WhlCh thefiller is constructedto recelve 10 apart to permit the insertion of a carton In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my said bodies being closed at one end and open signature.
